Two World Boxing Federation (WBF) title fights are set to take place in France on Saturday November 9, headlining cards in Sanvignes Les Mines and Reims.
After losing a split decision to Bosnian Branislav Malinovic for the WBF Intercontinental Middleweight title last November, Mickael Lacombe, 13-8-1 (7), moves down to Super Welterweight for a shot at the vacant WBF International title.
At the Gymnase Jean Laville in Sanvignes Les Mines, in what could be a final opportunity at serious championship level, 38-year-old Lacombe will take on compatriot Dimitri Trenel (26), who brings a record of 10-5 (6).
In Reims, Ibrahim Traore, 10-10-1 (2), will square off with Martin Sedlak, 6-4 (6), from the Czech Republic for the WBF Interim International Cruiserweight title.
Like Lacombe, Traore is also entering his second chance to become WBF champion, as he drew with Rostislav Zich for the full International title this past February.
